Cincinnati 2013 R3: Murray vs. Benneteau

Like it or not Fed, nadal and djoker are all still bigger draws than Andy, that's fact whether we like it or not. Organisers do what's best for ticket sales. I am sure Andy doesn't care one bit what court he is on, he will have his mind set on the match and the court won't cross his mind. Think how world number 4 Ferrer feels out on court 4....

Novak is more popular than Andy still. Popularity is largely based on success. Novak is more successful than Andy and has more career titles. Now I am not bashing Andy at all but Nole imo also has more charisma, although ott at times, than Andy does, and that will gain him fans.

Quite right Prod. The masses are not interested in quality. They prefer superficiality. That is why we have so many worthless "celebs" with no talent.

I disagree. People are very shallow these days and I don't think popularity is based largely on success, look at the WTA. Serena isn't that popular yet she is very successful. It's more to do with looks and personality. Novak tries too hard these days imo. I don't find him that funny. His fans at times are insufferable with the whole Nolefam. It's cringey.

I think Fed/Haas and Rafa/Dimitrov should be on the main court as they look like good matches, but I'd have put Novak/Goffin on the second court and Andy/Benneteau on the main one. I know Novak is the number 1 and deserves preferential treatment but it's so rare nowadays to ever see him put on the second court.

I agree. Some people are blinded by the fact that fed has been irrelevant for about almost a year. Fed fans arguments will always be 17 SLAMS !!!11111 !!!! !!!
